About the role
Remote contract position for a CFD Engineer.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate and solve advanced CFD challenges involving mesh generation, turbulence modeling, multiphase flow, heat transfer, and solver configuration.
- Review and assess AI-generated technical responses for correctness, accuracy, and engineering integrity.
- Apply practical engineering judgment to simulation scenarios and theoretical fluid-dynamics questions.
- Analyze and troubleshoot CFD problems using best practices such as mesh independence, turbulence model selection, boundary-condition specification, and convergence analysis.
- Contribute domain expertise to refine and inform the reasoning capabilities of AI in computational fluid dynamics.
- Document feedback and provide clear written and verbal explanations that enhance AI learning and performance.
- Collaborate remotely within a distributed network of technical experts and project participants.
Requirements
- Bachelor s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on fluid dynamics or thermofluids; or equivalent practical experience in CFD.
- Have strong relevant experience conducting and validating CFD simulations, including mesh generation, solver setup, turbulence modeling, multiphase/heat-transfer analysis, or post-processing.
- Deep understanding of Navier-Stokes equations, turbulence modeling (RANS, LES, DES), meshing strategies, boundary-condition specification, and verification & validation practices.
- Proven ability to analyze and validate fluid flow, heat-transfer, and multiphysics problems using CFD tools, cross-referencing with experimental or analytical data.
- Familiarity with relevant standards and practices (e.g., ASME V&V 20, AIAA CFD verification & validation, ITTC procedures).
- Excellent English proficiency with outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience with CFD software (such as ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, or Converge) is a strong plus.
